Our Story

born from disconnection, loss, and the longing for more.

helping men

remember

EMI is a living body of leaders, facilitators, and coaches, united by a shared mission: to restore healthy masculine culture.

We create safe, intentional spaces where men can drop the mask, step out of outdated conditioning and into deeper truth.

From pain to purpose

EMI is a not-for-profit collective built so men can remember who they are, find safety in brotherhood, and connect with life again.

The origin story

Created in response to the cultural crisis men are facing

After losing friends to suicide, we recognised the urgent need for spaces where men can be vulnerable, supported, and reconnected - to themselves, to each other, and to life.

EMI exists to prevent further loss and to help men feel whole, live with purpose, and find brotherhood - for the betterment of themselves, their families, their communities, and society.

Our vision

Train 500 facilitators.

Impact 10,000+ men through the Academy.

Build a physical retreat centre, a “home” for men’s work.

Partner with communities, organisations, and families to redefine healthy masculinity for generations to come.
